Hello everyone! Welcome to this week's edition of The Doxie Blog! Since we didn't have a post last week, we have a lot to catch up on. We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day, filled with puppy kisses and doggie snuggles. Here in DRBC land we were full of love for all of our doxies!
First off, we want to give you an Orange Paw Update on our doxie with the mammary tumors, Kyla. Little Kyla finally got the surgery that she so very desperately needed. The surgery was long and complicated, but she is now home and on the mend. Kayla still needs you! We are only about 1/2 of the way towards the fundraising goal. We had hoped we could wait until the full amount was reached, but we always want to do the right thing, and this time, it was making the move into emergency surgery. Can you lend a hand in her recovery? Please follow the link to donate: https://www.youcaring.com/kyla
We have a Red Paw Update for Gretel. This week was a close call for little Gretel. We take care of so many seniors that will never find forever homes here at DRBC and Gretel is one of them. Sweet, quiet and a complete love, Gretel is a favorite of everyone she meets.
Gretel has a big problem: she is an unstable diabetic. On any given day, a close eye is kept, a special diet is followed and Gretel is like any other senior, but last night something changed. Gretel refused to eat and began shaking. Her blood glucose number looked good, but a sore formed on her back from almost nowhere. It was of to NorthStar VETS for this little girl.
You may not know it, but February is the worst month of the year for our rescue. Donations are down and turn-in’s are up. Still we could not question our decision to get this little girl the help she needed. An ER visit, blood work and lots of meds later, Gretel is eating. We are taking a conservative route and are hoping the sore is a diabetic issue and not cancer.
Today Gretel is hoping you will lend a hand in her treatment. The $650 covers all her needs at NorthStar: blood work, anti-nausea medications, antibiotics and care. Tell this old girl she is still worth it as only the DRBC Gang can! Remember, age is not a disease, but her diabetes is a harsh reality.
Remember, generous support is desperately needed and greatly appreciated. Like many non-profit organizations DRBC is a 501[c][3] operated solely by volunteers. We have been dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, re-homing and educating families about this breed for over 32 years. We welcome and need your benevolent tax-deductible donation. Please, help us to help them.
We welcome you to stay tuned for updates. Until then, Gretel, all the rescue doxies and the DRBC Team thank you.

Speaking of diabetics, we have a Purple Paw update on Lily! She wanted to reach out to everyone and tell you that she is doing great! Many thanks to our buddies at NorthStar VETS for getting her through her diabetic crisis. It was a close one, but today she is stable and is loving life with her medical foster family! Thank you for all your support, she is now doing GREAT!
We also have a Purple Paw update on Andy & Barney, the 2 boys left outside in the snow after their owner passed away. These boys are survivors, and are starting to enjoy life again. By the way, Andy and Barney are looking for a long term foster to help them get back on their feet. Interested in a couple playful snuggle buddies? Follow the link to fill out a foster application! http://www.doxierescue.com/Foster_Care.html

We are thrilled to report that we have a lot of Gold Paw Updates this week! Check out all the cuties below who have found their furever homes! These pups all came to us with various issues. Some were dumped, some malnourished, neglected or abused, and all of them confused how they ended up in such a situation. But this week, they have all found love! A huge round of "appaws" and "high paws" to the pups below!

Inbound Alert - We have a Mint Paw Alert for Peanut. Little Peanut is a wonderful senior that recently came to DRBC when her family went on a military relocation. Things were looking grim until we stepped up and offered her a forever home. Today she is adjusting and secure. She needs some medical work on her teeth, but we are thrilled to welcome her to the DRBC family. Want to welcome Peanut to the family in a special way? Follow the link and help her get a new collar, harness and tag. Nothing like a new set of things to begin a new life. Hope you can help Gang! https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr…
